Bluesky #youthinvolvement people! I am seeking young people (aged 10–24) to share their experiences as collaborators in health research for an upcoming book project. Participation can take part via chat, workshop, or writing (€20–25 voucher). Link to express interest: tinyurl.com/youthinhealt...
A visually bright poster that asks if you have ever been involved (or tried to be involved) in health research as a contributor? It asks if you want to be involved in providing feedback on an upcoming book, and outlines that participation requires you to be aged 10-24, speak english and have access to the internet. It outlines that taking part can involve a 1-1 chat, a group workshop or written feedback. The email to get involved is ResearchInvolvement.KH@outlook.com

I adore working our open days @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social! Meeting prospective students and talking about the opportunities and avenues that exist in psychology makes me so excited to do what I do ❤️‍🔥

I concluded by reading my thesis dedication aloud, even though they’ve all read it!

Not a dry eye in the house.

Including young people in research has so many incredible and transformational impacts.

Absolutely loving our @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social Psychology Empirical Conference today! Hearing our students present their research, share in each others journey and come together as a department to celebrate all of our final students hard work!

Also, a massage and new set of nails, that’s an appropriate way to spend the day before your viva yes?

It doesn’t always look like this, here we are doing GDPR and Data Protection training together….

As I have been writing my thesis for the last year, it’s been a long time since any of the fun participatory activities during the research. Here’s a compilation of pictures of our research team (myself and my three wonderful co-researchers) during our various stages of research.
A Photo Booth picture of Rebecca, Kirsty, Jess and Rhi in various poses Kirsty Jess and rhi (young people) sitting around a table of strewn papers, which represent themes from our qualitative research Rebecca holds a painted bowl, Kirsty holds a painted case, rhi holds a painted bowl and Jess holds a little painted penguin. The whole team out for pottery painting and project reflection! Silly group photo with a paper cut out of an instagram post, at the Triumph Network research conference. Rhi poses with peace signs, Jess holds the frame, Kirsty kneels while holding the frame, Rebecca wedges in at the side and another friend of ours is in the middle with a sparkly cowboy hat.

Good morning Bluesky! I’d like to introduce myself. I am a #participatoryresearcher working in the area of #youthlivedexperience and #mentalhealthstigma, with a focus on #mixedmethodsresearch and #measurementdesign. I’m also an experienced youth worker, currently preparing to defend my PhD! 💃👋

Deep in viva prep territory. Should I be nervous? I feel I am just too excited to talk to someone who is willing to hear about my passion for participatory research to be nervous…
